You Can Have a Beautiful Velvety Lawn 
with 
Ross’ High Quality Lawn Grass Seed 
Park Lawn Seed 
This also is our own mixture and while it is a first 
grade seed in every respect and is composed of the 
same varieties as are in the Worcester, they are used in 
a different proportion, thus allowing us to offer the 
Park Lawn at a price somewhat lower. This is an ex- 
cellent mixture for use on large areas where constant 
tramping does not occur. Price, lb., 30c; 5 lbs., #1.25; 
10 lbs., #2.25; 100 lbs., #20.00. 
Shady Spot Lawn Grass Seed 
It is possible to produce a lawn under almost any 
condition but to do this in a situation where shade pre- 
dominates the greater part of the time is very difficult. 
A shady location requires special treatment of the soil 
and in almost every shady spot lime must be added, 
but most important is the selection of the seed. There 
are varieties of grass seed which thrive in shade to a 
much greater degree than others and it is with our 
knowledge of this that we supply our own Shady Spot 
Lawn Seed. Price, lb., 50c; 5 lbs., #2.25; 10 lbs., #4.25; 
100 lbs., #40.00. 
Special Mixtures of Grass Seed 
In addition to the several mixtures of grass seeds 
which we list in this catalog, we can supply grass seed 
in mixtures suitable for almost any purpose or location. 
We will also be pleased to name prices on any special 
formula on request. 
Green Hill Lawn Mixture 
We have decided to offer the Green Hill Lawn Mix¬ 
ture after repeated trials as we have found this to be 
one of the best of the solid seed mixtures. This is com¬ 
posed of only four varieties of grasses as follows: Creep¬ 
ing Bent, Rye Grass, Kentucky Blue and Red Top. 
These are four of the best lawn grasses known and as 
we use only the heaviest, cleanest seed possible to ob¬ 
tain, germination is assured nearly 100 per cent. From 
this mixture you can obtain an exceptionally quick sod 
and a lawn that can be maintained with very little care. 
Price, lb., 55c; 5 lbs., #2.50; 10 lbs., #4.75; 100 lbs., 
#45.00. 
Golf Course Mixtures 
For Putting Greens and Fair Greens. 
The turf on all golf courses must be given very care¬ 
ful attention and there are only a few varieties of grass 
which will withstand the constant trampling of the put¬ 
ting green. Both the fairways and greens require a mix¬ 
ture of seed which will bear very close cutting and which 
will produce a turf of a strong, persistent nature. Both 
European and American grasses are used for these 
purposes and we offer mixtures which are of the highest 
purity and germination. 
Mixture for Putting Greens. Lb., 65c; 5 lbs., #3.00; 10 
lbs., #5.75; 100 lbs., #55.00. 
Mixture for Fairways. Lb., 40c; 5 lbs., #1.75; 10 lbs., 
#3.25; 100 lbs., #30.00. 
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL 
Before seeding, the soil should be thoroughly spaded 
up, and if it is not a good, rich, garden loam, well- 
rotted manure should be added and spaded into the 
ground before the final raking. If the soil is of clay 
texture, mix equal parts of coarse sand with the manure 
before spading it in. Rake carefully, removing all 
stones and rubbish, and breaking up the earth finely. 
Roll, and rake lightly so the seed may be sown in 
loose earth. 
GERMINATION ON ANY SEED SENT ON REQUEST. 
ALSO PURITY ON 
GRASS SEEDS, CLOVERS, AND ALL FIELD SEEDS. 
TOP DRESSING YOUR LAWN 
The lawn is often neglected by many of us, espe¬ 
cially if it seems to be in a thriving condition. We 
overlook the fact that a continued, vigorous growth 
of any plant life results in reducing in the soil those 
elements which promote growth. The soil must be fed 
to produce best results and this is easiest accomplished 
by applying a top dressing. This may be done in many 
ways—we recommend Loma, Vigoro, V. C. Fairway, 
Pulverized Sheep Manure or Pulverized Poultry Ma¬ 
nure; a liberal application of the Ground Limestone is 
also always recommended.
